Re: NVIDIA: Movie playback leading to higher and higher CPU usage
That looks good. VAAPI is installed and available.
To enable GPU acceleration on VLC, open it and then go to:
Code:
Tools -> Preferences -> Input and Codecs -> Use GPU acceleration
Let us know how it goes.
Regards.
Re: NVIDIA: Movie playback leading to higher and higher CPU usage
Thanks papibe,
I at first thought you referred to a setting configuring the vdpau-driver, but later reread and understood you meant a VLC-setting.
I ticked that setting and it seems to be as it should, no stuttering etc., so that is great! Thanks a lot for all the help.
One last question before I mark this as solved, can I also enable hardware acceleration for the standard movie player? I prefer its UI, VLC always annoys me with a clumsy full screen behavior.
Re: NVIDIA: Movie playback leading to higher and higher CPU usage
Since vainfo is showing all is good, and the 'Movie Player' supports VAAPI, you should be able to play HD videos on it now.
Regards.
